Great Jones Spa

Details

Tucked away in the East Village, this subterranean day spa offers menu standards like massage, body wraps, and waxing; plus facial acupuncture and something called ear candling (ouch!) The Zen-inspired minimalist dA(c)cor, complete with a river rock sauna and 3-story indoor waterfall, will make you forget youare just steps from the Bowery. While I remain too committed to fast food to subject myself to the Colonic Irrigation ($140), the Jurlique Deep Cleansing Facial ($130) while pricey, paired with the Pumpkin Enzyme Peel ($30) was just the fix for my badly behaved skin. An added bonus, help yourself to the shower caps and hair bands generously provided in the posh womenas locker room.
